I have little experience with legacy hardware, so please excuse my confusion. So long story short, I don't want to buy a new DVD drive. I'll never use it and it's not worth my investment. I do have an old, legacy Sony DVD ROM (circa 2006). The older DVD drive utilises an IDE connector (of...

Drives A and B are no longer needed for floppy drives. I was wondering if I can use those drive letters as my Blu-Ray drive or a USB Thumb Drive. Will I get unpredictable results or run into any problems with Windows or applications? Thank you
